Former vice president Joe Biden apologized Tuesday night for calling Bill Clinton’s 1998 impeachment a “partisan lynching.”
Biden’s comments were unearthed after President Trump faced criticism Tuesday for characterizing House Democrats’ impeachment efforts as a “lynching” on Twitter.
Trump’s comments sparked a bipartisan controversy. Senator Susan Collins (R., Maine) responded by saying “the President never should have made that comparison,” while Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) called the use of the term “disgraceful.” Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) defended Trump, calling the impeachment inquiry “a lynching in every sense” and “un-American.”
Biden joined in and tweeted a response to Trump, calling the president’s comments “despicable.”

After the Biden campaign initially declined to comment, Biden tweeted an apology before pivoting to attack Trump, saying “This wasn’t the right word to use and I’m sorry about that. Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lynching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily.”

P*ssy
Joe is very Slow and he just got around to it ,LOL
Back when I was 3 years-old, I said “poo-poo” and giggled. Do I need to apologize?
“Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lynching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily.”
Lynching ... Brings visions of White Robed men on horseback and 99% DEMOCRATS waving nooses...Ah yes..the undercover democrat army ready to ‘wipe out’ the unarmed enemy....
As a young man, Joe Biden brandished a chain link and threatened to lynch a black man he called Esther (Williams) at a public swimming pool.
His apology comes with caveat; 'My comment wasn't racially charged because I'm not a racist. Trump is the racist'.
“THEY gon’ put Y’ALL back in chains!” - Joe Biden imperial grand wizard of the Democrat Klan Party
Eat a bag of dicks, Joe.
Biden should apologize for stealing air.
Senator Susan Collins (R., Maine) responded by saying “the President never should have made that comparison,”
If the comparison applies here and it does then he made a valid comparison Ms Collins it is about time you stop being a boot licker and stand up for America and Americans!
He should know something about lynching, having lynched Clarence Thomas.
Well, as long as he’s sorry . . .
I mean, it’s not like he’s a racist republican.
Indeed Joe is a slow thinker very slow and clouded one at that.
That's the spirit!
bttt
It’s just a word. The Liberal Supremacists are forcing most to grovel to their demands of semantic absolutism.
Kinda late. He’s obviously a committed racist.
